What are PARs?
Personal and Academic Records (PARs) are dual record systems developed by staff and students working together. They relate to a key set of activities and they record, for the benefit of both staff and students, the academic and personal development of individual students and the processes by which a department guides and supports student progress. There is no one single institutional PAR which everyone will use. Each School/department designs its own PAR within guidelines, customising existing examples to meet its own needs. The hope is that staff and students in each School/department will participate in deciding how the concept is best customised for their discipline.
